Juan SantosBefore Cal Lutheran’s recent designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, the university provided me with an exceptional foundation for academic and professional growth. Through its diverse programs, I earned my bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, along with certifications in teaching, counseling, and administration. The university’s commitment to my personal development enabled me to solidify my knowledge base and prepared me to become the dedicated professional I am today—devoted to serving others and inspiring them to ‘Be Your Best.’ It deserves recognition for what it has provided me.
